MODESTO, Calif. (AP) - The husband of a missing pregnant woman may have lied about his relationship with a girlfriend and possibly other things, a spokeswoman for the family said Friday.
Kim Petersen, a spokeswoman for relatives of Laci Peterson, 27, of Modesto, said police have shown the family recent photographs of Scott Peterson with a girlfriend. The husband had previously denied such a relationship, the family said.
"Now, however, they believe he has lied to them about this, and possibly other things as well," Petersen said.
"Approximately two weeks ago, Ron Grantski, Laci's stepfather, asked Scott if he had a girlfriend. Scott told him no and Ron believed him," Petersen said.
"The family is asking him to tell everything he knows and to fully cooperate with the Modesto Police Department," Petersen said. "Their family is the most important thing to them and if Scott has nothing to hide, they ask him to prove that."
Laci Peterson was reported missing on Christmas Eve. She is due to deliver a baby boy on Feb. 10. Her husband told investigators he went fishing at the Berkeley Marina on Christmas Eve morning.
Police did not indicate to the family if investigators believed Scott Peterson was responsible for his wife's disappearance, according to Petersen.
"The family knows that the police are doing their job," Petersen said. "They don't want to do anything that can hurt their chances of finding Laci."
Petersen, executive director of the Carole Sund-Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation, which is sponsoring a reward for Laci Peterson's safe return, said the Modesto center closed Thursday.
Volunteers also canceled plans to open a one-day center in Los Angeles on Sunday.
"Although Laci has not been located yet, our search effort will not stop," said Brad Saltzman, general manager of the Red Lion Hotel in Modesto, who had been organizing the volunteer centers. "We will continue to search for Laci and her baby boy."
Police have repeatedly said Scott Peterson is not a suspect but has been less than cooperative.

BTW, thanks for that awesome catch on the Laci website, kcvl! It had me mesmorized! I wonder if the cops or a member of her family wrote it. Probably her family member because of the rage and the date, but maybe cops to flush him out.

"I think she's sucking up to Scott's dad - to get Scott on Fox "
You are probably right.. I bet his attorney won't let him though.. or will advise him not to.

Where exactly was SP spotted driving along 99? I'm thinking LE needs to check out the California Aqueduct. Many a body has been disposed there.

Fresno Where Scott's babe is located. That's srange. Was he searching for a place to dump Laci's body then elope with his honey(who had no clue he was married)?

I think the media are trying to be nice to them out of compassion. Right now the only ones who believe Scott are his family. Even John South didn't fire back at Lee Peterson when Peterson was being nasty to him. He must feel sorry for them considering the information he knows.

Well, they have the pictures from a FORMAL that Scott and girlfriend went to.
Also, Scott lied to this other woman and was very convincing telling her he was "divorced and wanted to marry her.
Accomplished Liar, sociopathic person who had no room in his life for a wife and new baby.
His Dad is being a Dad and believing him. It is the saddest of sad. SHAME on Scott.

Thank you please do. They could probably confirm whatever time this would have been by comparing his location/s during this 80 miles and his logbook correct? FReepers are so smart, sometimes they are outthinking LE.
He drives a newer Red Frieghtliner, and your right their checking his story out by his logs.

All Scott cares about is Scott. He is one cold, callous human being.

If you've ever read "The Stranger Beside Me" by Ann Rule, even Rule herself was totally conned by killer Ted Bundy. (Rule is the mistress of true crime stories.) She worked with him at the Suicide Hotline center, and he was so concerned that she get to her car safely....he was so kind to the suicide callers....he was such a nice boy.
It took her FOREVER to finally accept he was a monstrous serial killer. Even after he was jailed.

South couldn't hear what Scott's dad was saying because he didn't have an earpiece. I was ROFLOL! It's NOT really funny because there is probably two dead people here and it just makes me so angry that Scott is letting his parents take the heat while he HIDES! What a jerk!!!

Dad's saying that the insurance was purchased 2 yrs ago..an investment vehicle.Huh! I guess he's saying if Laci is dead, Scott made a good investment by taking out a $250 policy on her.

Thanks, it's on now!

When I first heard about the girlfriend, I thought maybe she didn't know him that well. But after a while, wouldn't any person in their right mind wonder why their boyfriend never showed her his house or gave her his home phone number? I mean, if he was always going to her place or seeing her on trips, after a while she should have been a little suspicious.
